2021-03-08 15:13:05They got to Lopez Mateo at about 5:30pm in the evening. He couldn't help but look around his Father's mansion which was so strange to him now. Emilia opened the car and brought him out with his bag and they both proceeded into the house.
"Welcome home young master," the gardener greeted on sighting them."Eden!," a lady in her early forties cried as they walked into the house. She used to be his nanny. She rushed towards him to carry his bag while she ruffled his hairs and Eden smiled.
He stood beside his mother at the foyer waiting for his father. Not long, Emilio walked down the stairs with a lady probably of same age with Emilia. She was carrying a baby in her arms with two little girls running down the stairs happily. Eden wondered who they were."I can't remember telling you to keep standing," Emilio slammed as he walked towards them."I have better things to attend to instead of sitting around this damn place looking at irritating faces,"Emilia fired"I take that as an insult Emilia," the woman remarked
"Hold it there bitch! I'm not here for you!" She slammed"Honey!" The woman yelled, looking at Emilio who ordered her to be calm.Eden watched silently as they engaged in a word battle. He saw the two little girls staring at him with wide eager eyes. They were still so young but pretty. One of them waved at him and he managed to smile."I can't believe I left my son with you for only a year and look what you did to him with your damn boyfriend!" Emilio slammed, walking towards Eden."Are you in any way better huh?" Emilia retorted"How are you boy?" Emilio asked, rubbing Eden's hair. He nodded without smiling."Hey, Juliet and Tracy come here to your elder brother.." He motioned at the two girls. They giggled excitedly and ran towards him."He's handsome," one of them remarked, touching his hair."Why is he injured?" The other one asked touching his wound."Ouch!!" Eden cried as she touched his wound."Take your filthy hands off my son!" Emilia barked at the girls and they ran away from him in fear."You and your son are the filthy ones!" The Lady slammed back"Emilia what's the meaning of that huh?" You don't try to separate the kids from each other because they are not the cause of your miserable life!" Emilio yelled"You and your family are the miserable ones, You and all these bastards with you!" She slammed back.The lady rushed towards her and was about to land a slap on her face when Emilio came in between them."Grace, that's enough!" He motioned to her"Oh come on, I'll make sure I strangle you and that bastard you are carrying in your arms!" Emilia screamed"Enough Emilia, it's time for you to leave. Get out of my house!" Emilio thundered"I Was about doing that," she smirked and turned to her son. "I'll come back ok? Take care of yourself and don't you try to mix up with these people. They're bad people ok?" She said to him."Out now, Emilia!!" Emilio yelled and she smirked at him before walking out.Eden watched as she left. He turned to look at his father and the girls who were looking at him with fear in their bulgy brown eyes. His eyes fell on their mother and his heart skipped as he saw her looking at him with strong contempt."Um.. Son, these are your little sisters this is Juliet, and the younger one is mind Tracy. Don't mind anything your mom just told you ok? Feel free around the house with your siblings.. Least I forget, this is Paulo your baby brother" he said, pointing to the baby in Grace's arms. Eden nodded with a smile."Dad!," a boy of about five years old called, walking down the stairs. He wore a purple pyjamas and a white slippers, He wore medicated glasses too due to his poor eye sight."Hey Clem, come and say hi to your brother.." Emilio motioned to him but he remained on the stairs staring at everyone."Enough of the introductions. Tracy,Julie, to your room now," Grace ordered.The two girls nodded and rushed up the stairs While their mother followed behind them."Cassy, come on, take Eden to his room.." Emilio ordered the nanny and she nodded excitedly.
Eden got to his room with the nanny and she opened the door for him. He saw Clement sitting on the bed writing on a book. He looked up as he saw Eden walked in with the maid."What is he doing here?" Clement asked, looking at him with disgust."This used to be his room, the master says I should bring him here," the nanny replied"Hmm," he mumbled and continued with his book.The nanny dropped Eden's bag in the wardrobe and turned to look at him."If you need anything, call me.." She said with a warm smile before walking out.He looked around the room which was a little strange to him now. The interior decor had been changed and everywhere looked new to him. He looked at clement on the bed who was busy writing and he wondered how he could have such grown siblings under a short period of time. He only wished they could be nice to him just like Julius and Mrs Sergio.
"Hi," he said, sitting on the bed close to clement.Clement raised up his head to look at him and without a response, he continued with his work. Eden let out a sigh as he laid on the bed watching Clement. He thought of Julius as he rubbed his palm against the locket given to him by him.Would they ever meet again? He reasoned.****Dinner that night was eaten in silence. Eden watched as the whole family ate silently and he wondered if it was customary for them to do so. He could see Juliet and Tracy staring at him at intervals. He smiled at them and they did the same. His eyes met with their mother who was feasting on him contemptuously. His heart skipped and he turned away. He looked at Clement who was busy eating and he didn't seem to be paying attentions to anybody.After dinner, he went back to his room with Clement who paid little or no attention to him. He tried striking a conversation several times but all to no avail. Just then, the door opened and the two girls walked in excitedly."What are you doing here?" Clement frowned as he saw them"Dad says we could come and say hi to Eden," Juliet answered with excitement while Clement fumed and turned away."Hi Eden," Tracy greeted with excitement while jumping on the bed."Hi," Eden returned with a smile
"I like your hair" Juliet giggled as she ruffled his hair. He giggled too."Mom said you stabbed a man, is it true?" Tracy asked, sitting beside himEden kept mute, staring at them."He must be a bad man," Juliet said, looking into his eyes and he nodded."I want to be a hero like you, stabbing bad guys.." Juliet giggled and Eden laughed."She wants to be a policewoman while I want to be a lawyer and together we can put bad people behind bars," Tracy mused"What do you want to be Eden?" Juliet asked as she played with his hair. He kept mute again thinking about the question. He hadn't thought of his future or what he wants to become."Maybe I would become the bad guy," he joked and they all laughed."I'll make sure I place a handcuff on you like this.." Juliet demonstrated as she took hold of his wrist."And then bring him to my courtroom, I'll pass a sentence on him and throw him behind bars…" Tracy added"Yes!!" They both screamed excitedly while Eden laughed. Clement fussed as he got up from the bed."You girls should leave now, I wanna sleep!" He barked."Hey shut up, you're just jealous that we've got a brother whom we can play with and not you!" Tracy slammed"Yeah.. I'm glad Eden's not as aloof as you are," Juliet added while he frowned"Don't worry Eden, we're gonna take care of you ok?" Juliet assured with a smile
The door opened and their mother walked in wearing a long angry face. The kids shrieked and they both got up from the bed."What are you both doing here, don't you know you should be in your rooms!" She thundered"Sorry mama, Dad said we could come say hi.." Juliet said with quivering lips."Now out!" She ordered and they both ran out immediately. Eden trembled as he saw the looks on her face. She stared at him for a while with fiercely looking eyes before she turned to leave.He laid on the bed, wondering how life in here would be like. He thought of Julius again and imagined what he would be up to. What if he doesn't get to see him again.. He thought as fear crept through his tiny minds.Related chapters

The next morning, he watched as the nanny dressed up Clement and the other kids for school after breakfast."See you later Eden," Juliet waved at him."Bye Eden," Tracy giggled as they walked out of the house. He stood at the balcony watching them leave."Hey son," his father said, walking towards him."How are you?" He asked"I'm fine".. Eden mumbled"You'll be starting school tomorrow ok? But for now just take your time and relax. I'm off to work now," he said and Eden nodded."Be a good boy to Grace, she is your new mother now" He added while Eden nodded again. He wondered why he would always have a new father and a new mother all the time. His mind flashed back to Derrick and fear crept through him. The last time he had a new parent, things didn't end well with him. What if history repeats itself now that he is about having a new mother, he thought.He walked back to his room to take his bath. As he unclad to shower, he noticed the bedroom door made a creak. He heard footsteps and

The whole family ate dinner silently that morning with Eden excluded."Where is Eden?" Juliet whispered to Clement who was sitting beside her."I don't know, he's sleeping" ... Clement replied grumpily."Is he alright?" Tracy whispered to him"I don't know, go check on him yourselves.." He grumbled."What's the matter with you all?" Grace asked, looking at the children."Nothing mom, we were just asking about Eden," Juliet replied"What is your business with him?" She asked"Um.. He's not here for breakfast so I was worried.. Don't know if he is alright.." Juliet replied."Maybe we could go check on him!" Tracy voiced."You will do no such thing! Now eat and go to your rooms now!" Grace slammed and they all nodded fearfully before turning to their meals. He laid on the bed with his body aching so hard. He couldn't get the memories of last night off his head. He had cried out his eyes till morning without Clement noticing. The verbal abuses he received from Derrick was nothing compared

All through that night, he couldn't sleep as he continued to battle with nightmares. He dreamt of Derrick stabbing him with a knife and Grace coming to take him. He woke up from the bed soaked with perspiration. He continued to pant heavily as he looked around the dark room. He rubbed his palm on the necklace given to him by Julius as tears flowed down his cheek. He wrapped himself with the blanket and began to sob again as his body trembled with fear. All through Emilio's stay in the house, she didn't come for him and everything became normal again. One night he heard his door creaking, followed by footsteps. He woke up vehemently, looking around in fear. The lights were dim but he could see her silhouetted figure standing in front of him. She walked closer to the bed and pulled him closer to herself. "Hush…" She muttered inaudibly with her fingers on his lips. He began to fidget as she caressed his body, running her hands through his thighs. "Pl...e..as.." He cried but she

The cold morning breeze swept across his face as he struggled to raise his eye lids. The nightmares were here again. This time around he saw Grace and Derrick laughing maniacally as they chased after him from behind. "No... No... No!!!!! No!!!!!" He screamed and woke up panting heavily. He looked around the room fearfully and noticed he was in a strange place. "Hey... Are you ok?" He heard a lady's voice converging the room. The room was bright with the lights from the sun penetrating from the windows. She walked Into the room dressed in a black nightie and he flinched on sighting her. "Hey. .. Don't be scared…" She said as she approached him on the bed. "Where I'm...I'm..I?" He asked fearfully as he continued looking around the room. "You're safe with me..I've succeeded in reaching your grandma and she's on her way here" she replied with a warm smile. On hearing that, his nerves relaxed and he exhaled deeply. His body ached badly and his lips were sore and swollen. He held on

He laid close to grandma peacefully on the bed that night. He was half unclad with only his pyjamas on. Grandma was fast asleep but he wasn't, as he paid attentions to each noise coming out from the room. Ever since his experience with Derrick and Grace, he had learnt a lesson which is" never to be fast asleep ". He wakes up every night at the slightest noise, thinking it was Grace or Derrick coming to hunt him. But on this very night, he heard the door creaking from the living room and he thought it was one of his imaginations. Then he heard footsteps. He got up at once, looking around the dark room. He looked at his grandma who was fast asleep on the bed and he thought of waking her up when he heard faint voices coming from the living room. His heart began to beat fast. "Grandma…" He called in a faint voice but she didn't respond. "Granny…" He called while tapping her shoulders. She moved slowly on the bed and let out a yawn. "What is it son?" She asked grumpily. "Hush...." He w

"Halt Gabriel! Halt! " Grabriella screamed as her husband tried to get away after hitting the boy. "What is the matter with you Ella? We need to get out of here before people notice we just hit a boy!" He slammed as he hit on the brakes. "Can't you see the boy's in danger? He's probably running away from someone or something, we need to help before they get to him... " She said in panic "That's none of our business Ella, remember we need to get home quickly before the police come after us!" Gabriel protested. Gabriella fumed as she looked behind the car and noticed flashlights coming out of the bush. She saw three men walking out of the bush and they all stood in front of the boy. "I knew it! They're after his life! " She slammed "That's their business, we need to get out of here, '' Gabriel said as he started the engine. "Hold it Gab, what if they hurt him?" Gabriella asked, turning to face him "Ella these people are gonna notice us soon that we're watching over the boy.

He laid with his back flat on the bed as he stared at the ceilings. Grandma's death was still so fresh in his memory and he hadn't been so scared all his life. What would happen now that grandma is gone? He thought as a tear escaped his eye. Thoughts of revenge crept his into his mind as he flashed back to the night she was murdered. The fear he once felt was gone and all he could think of was revenge and granting justice to his grandma. He hated his parents so much and he wished the Gabriels could keep him forever. This was the third day since he had been with them and he still doesn't know who they are. They are well reserved people and you barely see them around the house. But the care they gave him made him feel so much comfortable with them. The door opened and the little boy walked into the room. His name was Ray. "Hi, "Eden greeted him Ray gave him a scornful look and walked to the closet. They share a room together and ever since he came, he had noticed how unhappy Ray

Fear gripped everyone as they knew it could be no other gang than the " Ghost gang" who had struck again. "How many kilometers clear?" He asked as he drove the Chevrolet roughly along the road "20km boss! " A voice answered through the small device on his ears "Good! Now hack into the system and disconnect the CCTV, we're almost there, " he ordered "Yes boss! " The voice replied again "Spider, make the call now!" He ordered to the boy sitting beside him "Yes boss, " the boy replied exuberantly He reduced the speed of the car as the sounds of the police siren could no longer be heard. He made an upturn and drove into a large field with a lot of scrap vehicles occupying it. The field was void of people and everywhere was as calm as a graveyard. A black Honda accord and a blue hay truck rode into the field along

DARK OBSESSION Epilogue
10 YEARS LATER MAXIMUM SECURITY CAMP, JUAREZ The lights fluctuated and the sounds of his leather boots could be heard as he walked hastily through the hallway. Holding a tray of tea, he kept a straight face as he walked past the warders and the heavily armed men mounting in front of the cells on both sides of the hallway. He took a left turn where he could see a passageway holding up to three cells. Two heavily armed policemen could be seen patrolling along the passage which was as calm as a graveyard. He stopped in front of the cell with a number tag, G3. The sound of the steel gate could be heard as it opened wide and he walked into the cell slowly. She rose up from the bunker bed and heaved a sigh as she turned to face him. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she saw him holding the tray with his head bowed. "Gracias" she muttered with a smile as she took the tray from him and he turned to walk away immediately. She sat on the bed with the tray resting on her legs.

"Hey," Julius called as he walked over to him with a glass of fruit juice in his hand. "Hey man," Eden called as he munched his fries "You know, I'm proud of you" Julius said with a smile He nodded "Thank you for being a true friend" he said and Julius smiled. "You know, Smoke's perspective about you has changed a lot. He no longer sees you as an enemy to the state" he said "Oh, really?" Eden asked in surprise "Yeah. He sends his regards. He has been transferred away from chimalpa" he said and he nodded. "My mom sends her regards too. She's really happy right now that you did the right thing. She has spent a couple of months praying for you" he said and Eden smiled "I wish I could meet her one more time" he said and they both smiled. "Eden, my worst fear is life in prison for you.

DARK OBSESSION The verdict
There was tension in court as Nanny Cassie was called up into the witness dock. Grace shut her eyes for a moment as she saw the Nanny who was standing on the dock with her head bowed. After taking the oath, Tracy began to throw series of questions at her. "How long have you been working at the Smith's mansion?" She asked "For almost three decades" she stated "Great. Now as a Nanny who has witness a lot that has been ongoing in the Smith's mansion, tell us what you know about the abuse case and Mrs Grace's involvement in the murder of Mrs Rodrigo Eden's grandmother" she continued. "When Eden was taken back to the mansion, I began to notice a few unusual things about him. He sometimes refuses his meals, and he becomes emaciated. Sometimes, he would lock himself up in the room and I would hear him cry. One night, I saw Grace take him out of his room and she led him into the Master's room while he was away on a business trip. I tiptoed and leaned on the door listening to their voices

There was a pandemonium in the court premises as a lot of chants could be heard by the crowd who had gathered in front of the court gate, holding placards and banners as they continued to sing and chant in Spanish. "libertad al rey!!"(Freedom to the King) were the words that could be heard echoing around the whole place as the young men and women tried to gain entry into the court premises. The police and other security agencies could be seen, trying to enforce peace and order as they engaged the crowd who were causing a pandemonium over the premises with their chants. As the police van zoomed into the court premises, the chants increased and the gate of the Court was shut immediately while the crowd continued to chant outside. He was led out of the police van with Spider beside him. As he looked back at the crowd, he was filled with awe and his eyes welled up as he saw the crowd which was made up of mainly students from the states University chanting his name gracefully.

Her wide full lips broke into a warm smile as she watched him being led into the visitors room with a policeman beside him. As he walked closer to her, his face beamed with a smile and he couldn’t explain the feelings of seeing her here again. “Hey,” she called with a smile as he took the seat facing her. He kept silent and stared at her face for a moment, with his face full of smiles “What?” She asked with a chuckle “You’re getting robust” he blurted and they both laughed. They kept silent for a moment with their eyes burning into each other. “I miss you Eden, i want you to come out of all this” she broke into tears immediately He heaved a sigh as his heart became heavy ``Jess, stop it” he said with emotions written all over his voice. She sniffed and wiped the tears off her face as she raised up her head to look at him. “You don’t really have to go to prison. You have an unborn child Eden, you have me” she cried and he looked away from her sadly. “I’m sorry for putting you

"Take a look at this shit dad! It's all over the papers!" He yelled as he dropped the newspaper on the table before his father "She deserves more than this!" Emilio yelled from his seat "Really? And you believe the trash your criminal son said back there? No! That's trash. You didn't even stand up for her! You didn't care about the family's name!" He continued "Enough Clement!" He yelled as he stood up angrily. "Your mother raped my seven years old son! How does it sound in your ears?!" He slammed. The door opened and Tracy walked into the house with Juliet. "What's going on?" She asked "He is taking sides with his mother," Emilio related "What! Are you dumb?!" Juliet barked as she walked towards him angrily "Put yourself in Eden's shoes. I don't think you can withstand any of those pains he went through" Tracy put in as she walked close to him. "You all can say trash for all I care. And you know what, I will be defending my mother in court!" He stated as he wore his glasses
DARK OBSESSION The confession 2
"Overwhelmed by shock, I screamed and the men chased after me. As I ran out of the woods, I was hit by a car which happened to be Gabriel's car. He and his beloved wife Ella, rescued me that night from the hands of those men. I became obsessed with the thought that someone was after my life. And when Gabriel introduced me to the gang, I wasted no time in accepting his offer. I was only eight when I became a gangster. And since then, I've been consumed with vengeance and hoping one day I would have my vengeance on the people who killed grandma and all those who had hurt me" he related as he looked at Grace sternly. “And since then, they haven’t stopped coming for me. I was arrested at the airport because of i was setup by my step mother whi is sitting here with us in court” he spilled and the whole court was thrown into an uproar again. “Maxwell, standing beside me here can attest to the fact that he was offered a payment by mrs Smith to frame me up so i would end up behind bars” he
